Solid middle of the road read for me. I have DNFd some of Jewell's work, but also blazed through some in one fell swoop because I couldn't stop reading. The Night She Disappeared didn't go to either extreme for me. It was interesting and engaging enough that I wanted to keep reading, but I didn't really get "hooked" until further into the book. One thing that I have previously found offputting about Jewell's work is the endless time/perspective hopping. This one is no exception, BUT it is done well enough that it was easy to follow along and figure out who and when we were at any given time. Solid 3-stars!

This. Was. AMAZING. Hilarious, witty, irreverent - just what I didn't know I needed. Grave Reservations is a huge departure from Priest's usual work (some of which I love, some of which didn't work for me), but she does it fantastically. Leda and Niki are how I envision myself and my bestie at our best - admittedly with far less actual in person interaction. And Grady... Well, I don't know where these characters are going, but let me just say that I would love to return to this world and find out more!

My first experience with Hester Fox was her debut, and it was a solid three star read for me. Based on A Lullaby for Witches, Fox's work has only improved. I loved this book. I was 100% engaged from the beginning, and I loved to see the character growth and development throughout the book. Excellent read for the Halloween season!

DID NOT FINISH

I put this on hold at the library on a whim, and I'm sure it's perfectly fine, but it's not what I'm looking for right now.
